Last month I won some goodies from a sketch contest at PubCalls. I was super lucky and own some gorgeous chipboard shapes from a newer Canadian company called Riff Raff Designs. Anam Stubbington, the sketch artist for both Scrapbook and Cards Today and Prima sent me a whole array of wonderful pieces of their new chipboard shapes to use.

I have been recently spending a lot of time at Splitcoaststampers. I just love all the challenges they have posted over there and I'm in love with all the wonderful stamps that I have been purchasing recently.

So here are some of the cards I have made in the last week or so...

The first 2 cards were for the most recent Inspiration challenge (IC136). There were photos of 5 different cakes and I took inspiration from this one....

I have been EXTREMELY lucky and have received 3 sets of FREE.... yes I said 3 FREE sets... of Gina K. Designs' stamps just by participating at her release parties. How cool is that???

Did ya know that Gina K. Designs also has FREE SHIPPING if your order is over $35.00 (US residents) and a flat rate for Canadian's for $5.95!!!! You can also get a FREE set of stamps when you buy 3 stamp sets. Each month's free stamp set changes... but this month it's a floral designer set.
